For right handers the slice shot is when the ball starts straight or towards the left side and then curves towards the right, resulting in lost distance (and golf balls!).
- To fix your slice, start by correcting the setup, ensuring that the body is not aiming too far left (for right handers) compared to the club face.
- The club face is the main factor in causing the slice, so focus on fixing it before addressing the swing path.
- A weak grip can cause the club face to open, so strengthen the grip by showing three knuckles on the top hand.
- To fix the club face, squeeze the elbows together and feel the wrists moving to shut the club face.
- After fixing the club face, work on the swing path by swinging from 4 to 10 o’clock.
- Pulling the right foot back slightly can help close the stance and improve the swing path.
- By following these steps, golfers can hit straighter shots and gain more distance.
